Chess League

This is not just another class — it’s a commitment. The Chess Grande Chess League is our premier training ground built to support and develop our most serious players into competitive chess athletes. It’s where chess becomes a discipline, and players are held to the standard of performance.

Program Structure

  • 2 sessions per week:
    • Lesson Day: Focused on high-level, adaptive training. There is no fixed curriculum — every week is fresh, responding to the real needs of the group.
    • Playing Day: Structured matches under strict tournament conditions. Once we reach critical mass, this will transition into a weekly FIDE-rated event.
  • Private Coaching: Each athlete gets 3 one-on-one coaching sessions per term with a senior coach.
  • Tournament Support: Select players will receive sponsorship to major competitions, including entry fee coverage and coach accompaniment. (Terms & conditions apply.)

Athlete Contract & Expectations

League participants must sign a performance contract. This includes:

  • Mandatory monthly competition
  • Participation in all major national events
  • Completion of all assigned training & homework
  • Consistent performance and discipline

Failure to meet expectations will result in dismissal from the League.

Scholarship & Merit Entry

We believe in rewarding performance. Scholarships are available for top players:

  • Achievement Scholarship Tier
  • Top 10 finishers at National Schools Individuals (NSI)/ National Age Group 100% Free
  • Champion of CG Friendlies or CG Invitationals 100% Free

Who This Is For
